I've been using Linux for almost a year now, and haven't managed to set up anything slightly advanced so far.
My brother tried to get me into Linux (Ubuntu to be specific) for years now, and since he didn't need his old Laptop anymore, he gave it to me for University and work. A lot of things were already set up, so I didn't really need to do anything to get it working in the first place! I had to change out quite a bit of hardware, but the software is basically the same as it was a year ago.
The thing is, I've thought about doing some modifications or random things like installing programs via Wine or setting up a dual boot environment, but have never managed to get it working and gave up relatively quickly, obviously leaving some "trash" behind because of the failed attempts. In the end I'll just say "Eh nevermind, better stop before I completely destroy everything", close everything related to it and move on. I am just starting to feel like Linux might not be the right OS for me! This wouldn't be a huge issue, but I am most likely going to study something IT related, and I feel like I should start getting into it soon.
Not looking for any particular advice here, just wanted to hear some opinions on it! If this isn't the right sub for discussions or stuff, I'll gladly post it somewhere else! =)
Edit: Thanks for all the kind comments!

Winboot - A shell noscript that reboots directly into Windows from your Linux session, without having to select it from the grub menu. For all those times you forget to do it and your grub timer runs out. [UPDATED]

I would like to know your opinion on either you prefer flatpak or snap in general without an in depth comparison between the two which is already available online and is really not understandable...

Your favorite Rich Text editor
I used sublime text for note taking and it's great, except that I like pretty, marked up text and inline pictures and what not right there in the editor. So I tried Typora and it's great as well, got everything I need, renders the marked up text right there in front of you. There is only one downside **THERE ARE NO VIM BINDINGS FOR TYPORA!** And it drives me nuts, it's like I'm missing a limb. Vim is like a drug, once you take it, you're hooked. Next thing you know, you have it in your editor, you use it in the console, you've enabled surfing keys in the browser, it's enabled for bash, in your IDE, everywhere. Your window manger has now vim-like key bindings for navigation, tmux is no exception. Vim seeps into every corner of your digital life. And there you are, unable or just unwilling to use anything that has no support for vim key bindings. Every time you have to touch that mouse while you type, you hate yourself a bit more and curse the gods that vim hasn't yet infected the app's developer.
So what's your favourite Rich Text editor that also supports vim, renders marked up text while you type and has a nifty sidebar for browsing files.

What made you switch?
I want to jump into linux as a 24/7 os (if possible), now, i know linux has a learning curve and also it is known for its open software and flexibility but besides that, for those who use linux as your main OS:
What made you swich?
How was your expiriences by learning how to use linux?
What other benefits brings up linux besides the obvious benefits of openness and customization?
